“Real Housewives of New Jersey” reality tv star, Jacqueline Laurita recently went public with her son Nicholas’ autism last month.

This comes as a surprise to many because Jacqueline never revealed her son’s autism on the reality show. So much of their personal life is put on display already, I can definitely understand holding back on a private matter that dealt with her baby.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Jacqueline revealed when she realized Nicholas’ behavior had changed and described the heart wrenching path to his diagnosis.
